A method and apparatus of washing laundry using a reduce amount of, or without the use of, hot water and detergents using a closed-loop or open-loop ozonated wash water system wherein wash water maintained in a contact tank is ozonated by an ozone generator prior to use in the washing machine. The oxygen and/or dried air used in the ozone generator to generate the ozone is concentrated by an oxygen concentrator before being fed into the generator. The system includes a venturi injector for entraining ozone into the water in the storage and contact tanks.
